Hi!

I’ve downloaded globalize (Revision 196: /globalize/branches/for-1.1),  
run rake globalize:setup, which created new tables, set  
Locale.set\_base\_language ‘pl-PL’ in enviroment.rb, but when i start the  
server, i get this error:  
C:/…/active\_support/dependencies.rb:123:in `const\_missing’:  
uninitialized constant Locale (NameError)

When i try to run rake test:plugins i get the same error. Why is Locale  
not initialized? Do i have to do something more to initialize this  
plugin?

hello!

put:

include Globalize

into config/environment.rb

I think better you set Locale.set\_base\_language ‘en-US’ in your  
environment.rb and Locale.set ‘pl-PL’ on a controller filter.

good luck 🙂

I am having the same problem. But Globalize is allready include in  
config/environment.rb - with no luck:

config/environment.rb:

[…]  
include Globalize  
Locale.set\_base\_language ‘en-US’  
Locale.set ‘en-US’

Any hints for me?

Thanks for help,

Guido

Holla, I guess I’ve should’ve been to bed at this time… So thanx for  
the hint… a restart did the job for me too!

Thanks!
